Rajan thanks for the help.
Stayam Comp after 6th oct 2006 , there was a bonus. 1:1
On 10 june satyam closed at 811
On 9 Oct satyam closed at 406.

How to adjust this in downloader please tell

Ex date of Satyam was 9.10.2006& bonus 1:1,therefore split for satyam becomes(a+b):b i.e 2:1.Now go to downloader menu open satyam,then again from menu choose adjust,then in the last date option put the date before Ex date i,e 8.10.2006& in the split boxes 2 & 1 .
